This is the best news I've heard all day. I am so happy for you (and her!)!

Thank you! We are both very happy, she looks better and is back to normal speed.

I did some digging and it is possible for dogs with EPI to not always show results outside of the normal range for their TLI levels (largely what we were testing for). Or, depending on how you look at it, it's possible dogs without clinical EPI will respond dramatically to enzyme supplementation.

So basically, enzymes are working and I'm treating my dog like she has EPI because it's working and she's getting better.

Tomorrow's lesson is the hardest one of the first quarter--domain and range from a graph. The kids just can't grasp the abstractness of function graphs having domain and range (especially when they go to infinity at a diagonal...) Every year in May this is the topic they are still struggling with.

BUT!

I am so so so so excited because I have the most awesomest way to teach it tomorrow. I am so grateful to the world of math teacher bloggers who have gifted me awesome ideas and starting points! I have the coolest foldable and manipulatives and DARN IT, THEY ARE GOING TO UNDERSTAND THIS CONCEPT THIS YEAR!!!

I have what I believe is REM sleep behavior disorder. My psychiatrist prescribed me a drug that she's used to treat other patients with those issues. It's an antihistamine but somehow works miracles for my sleep. I can actually... you know... sleep, lol.

Because Caremark mail order prescription refill is maybe the WORST service I've ever used, I've been off of it for two weeks and I am feeling it. I'm exhausted. Constantly tired. I feel like I could fall over. I spent the night with my boyfriend for the first time in months and he confirmed that I'm only getting a couple of hours of restful sleep.

But the good news is that my psychiatrist called in a new prescription to my old pharmacy and I got it today! I get to actually sleep tonight!! I am SO excited, haha.

Job interview tomorrow for a position that sounds perfect. Wish me luck

Good luck!

I really wish I'd had a math teacher like you - middle school is about the time I decided I wasn't good at math (due to a slew of lousy teachers who actually yelled at students that didn't understand) and just gave up. You know how you look back at your life and there's at least one teacher that changed everything for you? I bet you're that teacher for a lot of kids.

omg the Target RedCard is a beautiful thing. I kind of realized my friend's wedding is next weekend already, I should probably buy a gift.... picked something off her registry and was just going to have it shipped to her. Shipping was $30! But with the Redcard shipping is FREE so YES I win. God I love Target.
